Can
I wait until I come to the island to find a place to stay?
We
recommend that you make reservations early if you are
planning a vacation on the island at any time during the
2001 season. Spring, summer and fall weekends book early as
well as peak summer weeks in July and August. There is
always a chance you might find accommodations after
arriving, but nearly every lodging owner will advise you not
to take that risk. Call 419-285-4144 for
reservations. Back
I'm
planning a family vacation in July 2003 on the island. How
soon should I make my reservations?
We
recommend you make your reservations as soon as you know
when you will be vacationing on the island. We began booking
reservations in July of 2002 for the 2003 season. More than
half of our business is from repeat
customers. Back
